From the New York Times best-selling author of Chasing the Scream, a radically new way of thinking about depression and anxiety.

What really causes depression and anxiety - and how can we really solve them? Award-winning journalist Johann Hari suffered from depression since he was a child and started taking antidepressants when he was a teenager. He was told that his problems were caused by a chemical imbalance in his brain. As an adult, trained in the social sciences, he began to investigate whether this was true - and he learned that almost everything we have been told about depression and anxiety is wrong.

Across the world, Hari found social scientists who were uncovering evidence that depression and anxiety are not caused by a chemical imbalance in our brains. In fact, they are largely caused by key problems with the way we live today. Hari's journey took him from a mind-blowing series of experiments in Baltimore, to an Amish community in Indiana, to an uprising in Berlin.

Once he had uncovered nine real causes of depression and anxiety, they led him to scientists who are discovering seven very different solutions - ones that work. It is an epic journey that will change how we think about one of the biggest crises in our culture today.

Enlightening

Our culture encourages a lack of social connection, then encourages us to label the resulting disorders as mental illness and to treat that with drugs. This account explores the science, pseudoscience and economic drivers behind those attitudes. It also describes ways of reconnecting, reestablishing compassion as a core value. Hari is very clear that economic insecurity and workaholism can be helped by introducing a guaranteed basic income, and that pilot projects show this reduces anxiety and depression. He covers a lot of ground in a coherent way.

Explains very well the causes for depression and powerful stories on solutions we haven't paid attention to. Gives hope to those in need and encourages society to solve this problem collectively.

Captivating and Educational

Made me think, reflect on my “get over it/suck it up” attitude, and now i feel. I understand depression/anxiety better, and i will treat people differently that have it & help them if i can.
Johann does an excellent job as narrator...always best hearing the author narrate, seems personal.
Excellent book. For any adult, or almost adult.

Changed my attitude towards depression
